Never tried Chinese shiet Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Xiaomi, Honor, OnePlus, Gionee (now extinct) ever. Samsung always. But on Motorola currently. Yes Moto is Chinese Lenovo owned but ai am not Uber rich to buy IPhone and wanted something other than Samsung.
Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Oneplus - Same color OS in different bottle. Also if single OS has fatal security flaw there is a chance entire brand under Jeopardy.
Xiaomi - MIUI is becoming more or less like iOS. Never liked the UI.
Huawei - Lot of issue due to US, also never took off in India. Some time Huawei was second largest in Mobile export.
Honor - Never took off in India.
Gionee - LOL. Bought by Karbonn and now completely Bankrupt.
Samsung - Current series are much better than J series where they literally cut down various sensors like proximity sensor, gyro etc.
Moto - Went down after G5 launch. But now trying hard to come back.
Apple - I just bought it since I am never a fan of changing phone regularly, my current iphone will work upto 2025 which is enough for me. But Apple is selling at significant profit margin. No way I can justify the pro variant at fucking 1. 5 lakhs. You can literally buy a powerful gaming laptop.
But the Chinese arrival simply destroyed everyone.
Nokia (Finland) - Poor decision to not adopt android. Failed.
HTC (Taiwan) - Destroyed. Google mobile division bought some of their IP for Pixel series.
Sony (Japan) - Reduced to top end in few countries
Blackberry (Canada) - Dusted due to not adopting android.
Asus (Taiwan) - Not a mainstream company anymore. Relies on ROG phone and Zenfone top end.
Pixel (USA) - Just mid and high range model from google.
LG (SK) - Recently closed mobile division
All the companies above mentioned are having decades of experience but still destroyed. Our guys were just completely buried under Indian Ocean permanently.
